Can I use my US resume as I apply for jobs abroad?

Maybe. But just as the U.S. has a somewhat standard format for resumes, other countries also have rules and common formats for application materials. The Career Education Center’s Career Library has several books with sample resumes from a variety of countries. The Goinglobal Career Reference also has information about specific application materials for each country it profiles. Organizations that often hire US citizens may accept US-style resumes, but it’s best to check with the organization before applying.
